What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 404 Immortal Fate
Just as Su Yanyang was pondering the competition for the military certificate, a piece of information appeared in his eyes.

"Su Yanyang! When are you going to pay me back?"

"You think you can get away with hiring a soul cultivator without paying them?"

At the same time, the debt collection information not only appeared in Su Yanyang's eyes, but also in the eyes of the people around him, instantly changing the way many civil engineering students looked at Su Yanyang.

Su Yanyang calmly swallowed a bowl of rice, thinking to himself, "A debt collection talisman?"

Ma Xuan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "Senior, why don't you just return the money?"

"Otherwise, if people keep using debt collection charms on you like this, your reputation in other people's eyes will keep declining, which won't be good for your academic development, right?"

Su Yanyang said calmly, "I hire soul cultivators to do work for me. If they fail to do the work, why should I pay them?"

"Let them come and collect the debt, or let them go to court, it's up to them."

"If they can get money from me in the end, that's their skill."

In Su Yanyang's view, avoiding the loss of spirit coins and doing one's best to preserve one's potential on the path of immortality are both essential lessons in immortal cultivation.

At the same time, Xiao Yunji, who was far away, had a needle inserted into her neck. As the medicine was slowly administered, she felt the stinging pain in her meridians gradually disappear.

Xiao Yunji breathed a sigh of relief after checking that the synchronization rate of the Dharma Body had returned to normal.

At this moment, she no longer had the three heads and six arms she displayed on the competition field. Her entire body shimmered with a metallic luster, making her look like a normal college student.

Xiao Yunji thought to himself, "Although the transformed form of the Dharma Body is powerful, its synchronization rate is too easy to decrease."

"Once I get my military license, I should replace this set of armor."

Her gaze swept over Su Yanyang and another civil engineering student, and she thought to herself, "Su Yanyang, and Ping Han from the war faction, these two should be my biggest competitors in the next military certificate exam."

“Especially Ping Han, as Mo Shangjin’s teammate in the competition, this guy is a year older than Mo Shangjin, and he is already a junior this year. He has also already collected all seven of the Seven Wonders.”

"If I hadn't failed at cryptocurrency trading multiple times, I probably would have already passed the military exam."

As for Zhang Yu? Xiao Yunji naturally didn't take this junior, whom she had chased around on the field, seriously.

Just as Xiao Yunji's gaze swept over the student named Ping Han, the student had already arrived beside Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu turned his head and looked at the senior in front of him, who was dressed in the Extreme Tiger brand magic body, and then curiously looked at the ranking of 4th in the Civil Engineering Department above the other's head.

"The fourth-ranked student in the Civil Engineering department actually used the Extreme Tiger brand?"

Although Zhang Yu's research on the various Dharma Body brands was not very in-depth, he often listened to Yu Xinghan, Li Xiao, Gongshu Jin and others' comments on different Dharma Body brands.

He knew that Jihu was a standard brand targeting lower-tier markets, a fashion item for college students, and a savior for first-tier students, emphasizing affordability and durability.

Yu Xinghan's assessment was: If one were to use the Extreme Tiger at Wanfa University, they would be destined for a failed university experience.
But Zhang Yu recognized Ping Han, or rather, he had seen Ping Han's performance in competitions.

"He didn't use this set of magic armor on the field, did he?"

"Then it should be that the Extreme Tiger is used normally, and the Key Dharma Body is used only in critical moments."

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering, Ping Han grinned at him and said, "Junior Zhang Yu, are you wondering why I would use the Extreme Tiger brand?"

"Do you think... that I use a different set of magic bodies on the field, and that I usually use the Extreme Tiger set, only switching to a better magic body set in crucial moments?"

Ping Han shook his head and said, "In fact, I only have this one set of Extreme Tiger brand magic bodies. During the competition, my teammates lent me their spare magic bodies."

"Actually, I used to have a body of divine craftsmanship, but I sold it all later."

Ping Han's eyes flashed, and he said seriously, "Because I've realized something: instead of spending money on magic artifacts, it's better to use it to speculate on cryptocurrencies."

"I have some inside information about Hehuan University's Qiongjiang Coin. Are you interested in investing?"

Zhang Yu shook his head repeatedly and said, "I don't trade cryptocurrencies."

"Not trading cryptocurrencies?" Ping Han said with a pained expression, "You're a college student, you don't trade cryptocurrencies, do you want to become an immortal?"

"Do you really expect to cultivate immortality by working?"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback; that was indeed what he thought.

Seeing Zhang Yu remain silent, Ping Han shook his head repeatedly and said, "We work ourselves to the bone on construction sites, how much can we earn in a year? This little bit of money, besides prolonging our lifespan and making us work longer hours, is simply not enough to allow us to break through our cultivation level."

“I have studied the resumes of cultivators who have achieved the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages over the past 50 years.”

"None of them achieved their level by working odd jobs."

“Each of them, and I mean each one of them, was either already wealthy when they enrolled, or they became rich overnight before breaking through to the next level.”

Ping Han looked at Zhang Yu and said seriously, "Junior Brother Zhang Yu, the potential for immortality is never accumulated. The truly profound potential for immortality is always generated by sudden bursts."

"In this day and age, you'll never achieve the Golden Core stage by just working." "It's better to just speculate on cryptocurrencies. If you win, you can aim for the Golden Core stage and then the Nascent Soul stage. If you lose, you simply don't need to waste time cultivating."

"Whether you become an immortal or a ghost, the results will be clear in a few years. It's much more reliable than toiling away for a hundred years only to find you have no hope and regret not investing in cryptocurrency when you were young, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Ji sighed, "He's another one obsessed with cultivating immortality or demonic arts. He must have lost a lot of money trading cryptocurrencies and transferred all his potential for immortality to the Nascent Soul God Lord."

Zhang Yu said helplessly, "Never mind... I still want to work."

“Sigh.” Ping Han sighed, “You don’t understand. There’s still a chance to win in cryptocurrency trading, but working a regular job… you can’t break through to a higher level by working a regular job.”

"There's no hope...there's no hope."

"Since you're unwilling to try your luck with immortality, do you have any spirit coins to lend me?"

Zhang Yu refused the other party again, and then saw Ping Han leave with a sigh.

Just then, a message appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.

Mo Shangjin: You were right not to lend him money.
Zhang Yu looked up and found that Mo Shangjin had arrived at the scene at some point and was talking to someone surrounded by a large group of students.

Seemingly sensing Zhang Yu's gaze, he smiled slightly and nodded at Zhang Yu from afar.

Mo Shangjin: When Pinghan first started trading cryptocurrencies, he earned 50 spirit coins.
Mo Shangjin: From then on, he became addicted to it.
Mo Shangjin: After losing a lot of money, he borrowed 10 spirit coins from Teacher Gao.
Mo Shangjin: Teacher Gao said he had no talent for cryptocurrency trading and told him not to touch it, and also didn't lend him any money.

Mo Shangjin: As a result, the coin Pinghan wanted to buy skyrocketed in price. If he had bought it with 10 spirit coins at the time, he could have earned more than 400 spirit coins.

Mo Shangjin: From then on, he threw himself into it headfirst, and no one could stop him.
Mo Shangjin: This matter has become a mental obstacle on his path to immortality. If he asks you for money again in the future, please don't lend it to him.
Listening to Mo Shangjin's story, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "So that's how it is? If I had missed out on the profit of over 400 spirit coins, I probably wouldn't have been able to get over it for a long time."

Fu Ji commented, "This is how cultivation is. There are too many inner demons you can encounter along the way. Only by cultivating a perfect and flawless Dao heart and not being disturbed by external demons can you ascend step by step."

Just then, another senior from the Civil Engineering Department came to offer Zhang Yu a meal. Zhang Yu snapped out of his daze and immediately started eating again, feeling the powerful energy flowing into his body with each bite.

Not far away, Feng Tingting watched Zhang Yu eating heartily with his bowls clinking together, and thought to herself, "12.75's appetite is quite large, he's a top-quality material for refining weapons... I wonder if he'll sell it?"

Looking at the 12.75 she had marked on Zhang Yu's head, Feng Tingting figured he probably didn't have much money and might consider asking him.

Just as Feng Tingting was thinking this, she saw sword light flashing around Zhang Yu.

"This is... someone is using a sound transmission talisman to forcibly call him? This talisman is extremely expensive, who is using it?"

"12.75 probably didn't prepare any countermeasures in advance, so unless we stay offline, we can only watch as the enemy arrives."

The next moment, the flashing sword light suddenly condensed into one, transforming into the figure of Wen Wuyai, which appeared in front of Zhang Yu.

Looking at Zhang Yu, who was sharing a meal, Wen Wuyai finally understood why the other party hadn't replied to his messages for so long.

So he reached out and activated the Silence Talisman. Then he asked Zhang Yu, "I wanted to talk to Bai Zhenzhen about dual cultivation, but after only a few words, she started avoiding me. Do you have any ideas? I'm in a hurry."

Zhang Yu rubbed his head, which was still a little dizzy, and looked helplessly at Wen Wuyai in front of him. He thought to himself that it was fortunate that Bai Zhenzhen had the countermeasures from Tianjian University last time, otherwise this guy would be really annoying.

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "A-Zhen likes sterilized men."

"In her view, only sterilized people have the determination to cultivate Taoism and are more manly."

Wen Wuyai pondered for a moment and said, "It's that simple? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Just then, Wen Wuyai's eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked in Feng Tingting's direction.

When Feng Tingting saw Wen Wuyai appear, she was slightly startled.

She had watched the flying sword competition a while ago and recognized Wen Wuyai, a Nascent Soul disciple from Tianjian University.

Seeing that the other party had forcibly projected himself to Zhang Yu and wanted to contact him, she was immediately filled with great curiosity.

So she activated her magic body, wanting to hear what Wen Wuyai and Zhang Yu were discussing under the cover of the silence melody.

However, the opponent's silencing spell was clearly of a high level; even with all her might, she could only hear fragments of: "I... dual cultivation...you...are in a hurry."

Seeing the few words that appeared on Zhang Yu's face, Feng Tingting's pupils dilated in shock as she stared at him: "Is that so?"

"This Zhang Yu is actually a dual cultivation partner of a Nascent Soul disciple?"

"He actually stumbled upon such an incredible stroke of luck?"

But the next moment, she saw Wen Wuyai turn his head and look at her with murderous intent.

"Eavesdropping on me?"

"You are so brave."

With a single grab of his hand, Wen Wuyai shocked Feng Tingting to see the words that had appeared on her eyelids being seized, crushed into powder, and vanished into nothingness.
